Summary
This is an abstract from the "SAA 2024: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.
This paper discusses and compares site assemblages dating to the Denali and Northern Archaic transition in central Alaska. This time period, ~10,000-6,000 cal BP, represents an understudied period in the region. The paper presents data from the Carpenter, Hollembaek, North Gerstle Point, and Swan Point assemblages. It further discusses apparent adaptive strategies in the context of changing middle Holocene ecology and how this facilitated the appearance of the Northern Archaic on the southern foothills of the Alaska Range.
